Even though position battles are always the most entertaining thing about spring practice, there are some positions where no competition is necessary.

Adam Muema will be SDSU's starting running back, and as of Monday, Rocky Long basically revealed that Adam Dingwell will start at QB and that he'll take snaps from Zach Dilley and have Bryce Quigley protecting his blindside.

Adam Roberts appears to have a slight edge as the blocking tight end, and at this point, Robert Craighead has impressed everyone in his return to the tight end spot after a year-long stint on the defensive line.

All other offensive positions are still open though. Especially for the receivers.

"Right now our job is to go hard every day and make it a hard decision on the coach and let him make a decision on who’s going to play."

Vizzi started in the slot on Monday, but said the receivers are rotating in terms of who gets to start at every practice.

Along with Vizzi, Colin Lockett, Ezell Ruffin and Dylan Denso are the main returners.

But Jemond Hazely, Eric Judge and Paul Pitts have all looked pretty good in practice recently.

Toledo has said he wants to pass the ball more than the Aztecs did last year. Also, from the looks of it, you'll see a lot more three-step drops and short passes from the Aztecs this season too.

Fely's backup

Rob Andrews was a dependable force behind Jake Fely at the middle linebacker position in 2012, but with Andrews' graduation, junior Josh Gavert has taken the lion's share of the No. 2 MLB reps.

One-on-ones

The Aztecs got fired up toward the end of Monday's practice as they cheered on one another in one-on-one contact drills. Here are the results:
